Benefits of Avocado

We all know the health benefits of avocado, just a quick recap here. Avocado is known as one of the super food. It is loaded with healthy saturated fats, antioxidants, anti inflammatory compounds and fibre. It is an excellent source of minerals and vitamins. Eating avocado may help in overall diet quality.

Adding your favourite toppings will not only make it more appealing but also add nutrition to it.

Ingredients to make Basic Avocado Toast

Avocado-Choose a very good quality Avocado. Choose a ripe avocado but not overripe. You should gently be able to squeeze it. Discard the black spots on it.

Bread- The best bread for avocado toast is a crusty bread. It gives a thick base for the creamy avocado( and also with different toppings). You can use a good whole wheat/multigrain sourdough bread, ciabatta or rye bread. You can also use a good sandwich bread but then the toast should be immediately consumed as the bread may become soggy.

Flavour Enhancers- Lemon juice, freshly ground Black Pepper, Red Chilli Flakes.

How to make the best Avocado Toast

Toast the bread nicely. You can toast bread on griddle (stove top), in oven or Air fryer.

Slice the avocado or mash it. See Recipe Card for How to cut and slice avocado.

Drizzle(sliced) or mix it with lemon juice, freshly ground black pepper, spread on the toasted bread and sprinkle chilli flakes and other seasonings with fresh herbs.

For Smashed Avocado Toast-Spread the mashed avocado on toasted bread along with other toppings(when using). Sprinkle seasoning and fresh herbs as required.

Variations for Avocado Toast

Creamy Cilantro Avocado Spread/Dip

It's my personal favourite variation this toast is this creamy avocado spread. To make this we grind together cilantro and avocado to a smooth paste along with garlic, ginger and green chillies.

I serve this dip with Grilled Vegetables or Quinoa patties. Whenever I make this dip I make a big batch use it as a spread for sandwiches or toasts.

Avocado Toast varieties

To make the Cafe Gitane NYC style Avocado toast(read here), drizzle some extra virgin olive oil with lemon and sprinkle red chilli flakes. It is almost same as the basic toast (without olive oil) recipe. As per wiki the trend started from this cafe and later many copycats come out.

Can we make Avocado toast in advance

This toast is best enjoyed when made fresh. It hardly takes any time to You can refrigerate the leftovers in a ziplock bag or an air tight container and finish at the most within 24 hrs.

I will not suggest to freeze it.
